Description: Acolbifene, also known as EM-652, or SCH-57068, is a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM). Acolbifene is currently being studied in the prevention of breast cancer in women at high risk of breast cancer. EM-652 (SCH 57068) and the prodrug EM-800 (SCH57050) which are the most potent of the known antiestrogens. EM-652 is the compound having the highest affinity for the estrogen receptor, including estradiol. It has higher affinity for the ER than ICI 182780, hydroxytamoxifen, raloxifene, droloxifene and hydroxytoremifene. EM-652 has the most potent inhibitory activity on both ER alpha and ER beta compared to any of the other antiestrogens tested. EM-652 was also the most potent inhibitor of the percentage of cycling cancer cells. ( J Steroid Biochem Mol Biol. 1999 Apr-Jun;69(1-6):51-84.)

More Info: Acolbifene, formerly known as EM-652, and SCH 57068, is a third generation SERM acting as pure antiestrogen. Acolbifene is also the orally active antiestrogen which is the most potent of the known antiestrogens and exerts pure antiestrogenic activity in the mammary gland and endometrium. Acolbifene is currently in Phase II trials for the prevention of breast cancer sponsored by EndoCeutics, Quebec City, Canada. EM-652 inhibits the AF-1 and AF-2 functions of both ERalpha and beta while the inhibitory action of OH-TAM is limited to AF-2. EM-652 , thus, inhibits Ras-induced transcriptional activity and blocks SRC-1-stimulated activity of the two receptors. The absence of blockade of AF-1 by OH-TAM could explain why resistance develops to Tamoxifen treatment. Not only the development, but also the growth of established DMBA-induced mammary carcinoma is inhibited by treatment with EM-800, the prodrug of EM-652 . EM-652 is the most potent antiestrogen to inhibit the growth of human breast cancer ZR-75-1, MCF-7 and T-47D cells in vitro. When incubated with human Ishikawa endometrial carcinoma cells, EM-800 has no stimulatory effect on the estrogen-sensitive parameter alkaline phosphatase activity. When administered to ovariectomized animals, EM-800 prevents bone loss, and lowers serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels. EM-800 has shown benefits in women with breast cancer who had failed Tamoxifen. The above-summarized preclinical and clinical data clearly suggest the interest of studying this compounds in the neoadjuvant and adjuvant settings and, most importantly, for the prevention of breast and uterine cancer.

| Biological target: | Acolbifene (EM-652) is a selective estrogen receptor antagonist and an antiestrogen with an IC50 of 1.01 nM. |
| In vitro activity: | EM-652 (acolbifene), which acts as a complete estrogen antagonist in the mammary gland and endometrium, exerts a typical estrogen-like effect on endothelial cells, triggering NO synthesis. EM-652 has a double mechanism of action, inducing a rapid nongenomic stimulation of eNOS activity as well as an up-regulation of eNOS protein upon longer exposure. Nongenomic signaling through ERs is of primary importance for estrogen action. This is true also in endothelial cells, where rapid NO synthesis upon exposure to estrogen relies on nongenomic activation of MAPK and PI3K pathways (13–15). EM-652-induced NO release by endothelial cells follows the same kinetic as natural estrogen. Upon challenge with EM-652, a biphasic increase in NO release from endothelial cells can be found; the first part (between 0 and 10 min) can be blocked by MAPK inhibitors, whereas the second (between 20 and 30 min) and more substantial part is sensitive to the presence of PI3K inhibitors. PI3K activation leads to the recruitment of Akt, which is responsible for the Ser/Thr phosphorylation and rapid activation of eNOS (28, 29). EM-652 triggers Akt activation in endothelial cells that is time-consistent with eNOS activation and that can be prevented by blocking ER signaling. It is possible that ER activation by EM-652 triggers the sequential recruitment of MAPK and PI3K/Akt pathways in human endothelial cells, leading to rapid nongenomic eNOS activation.

| In vivo activity: | The selective estrogen receptor (ER) modulator (SERM) acolbifene (ACOL), a potent and pure antiestrogen in the mammary gland and uterus, exerts beneficial pro-estrogenic actions on energy balance, insulin sensitivity and lipid metabolism. ACOL binds ERs alpha and beta, both of which have been involved in the metabolic actions of estrogen. ACOL was administered for 4 weeks to male and female wild-type and ERalpha knockout (KO) mice, and indices of energy balance as well as plasma and liver lipid concentrations were determined. ERalpha KO mice were heavier, gained more fat mass and had larger adipose depots than their wild-type counterparts. In both genders, ACOL decreased fat gain (50%) and white adipose tissue mass in male and female wild-type, but not in ERalpha KO mice. ACOL reduced plasma cholesterol in female wild-type mice (-27%), whereas the compound remained ineffective in their ERalpha KO counterparts. Plasma triglycerides were unaffected by ACOL. Finally, ACOL decreased liver cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations only in wild-type female animals. The present data demonstrate that the marked ACOL-induced reduction in body fat accretion and cholesterolemia are entirely explained by its interaction with the ERα.
